Just an update here on my 09 Xi car, paddles stopped working after the initial reflash as expected and described above. Followed the DIY for using NCSExpert to get them working again, went fine. Really pleased with the mod, for the first time I can say I do not regret getting an AT vs MT. Thanks to all who made this happen, and I sent a bit of coin to Cn555 in gratitude for his help.

Hardest part of all this by far was getting NCSExpert running and configured with the right 48.1 daten. That took a day or so to get right. What is cool is coding things like lights or whatnot never appealed to me, at least no enough to climb the learning curve. Paddleshifters not working? OK I'll climb it and now that I have, I've got INPA NSC etc all right there.

Oh yeah one other thing, when I looked at the EGS codes under INPA the 511 whatever was there, just ignored it.

That and M mode. The thing about this is now D, S, M mode each has a well-defined purpose, esp with something like Cobb and bolt ons. That purpose for D is just cruising around using a lot of TQ but not much revs for good mileage. Previously D was so sloppy and unpleasant I never used it. The S mode is like OK let's get on it a little (or A LOT) with worrying about shifting at all. Then M is for technical and twisty bits, or just fun shifting.

All right. My cable is on the way here and I have an old laptop that I can use this software on. I've downloaded the zipped SPDaten 48.1 files. Is there any way to confirm that I got the full daten files? (it is 4.6 GB in its .rar format) Where is the best place to download NCS Expert, NCS Dummy, WinKFP, INPA and ediabas from?

if you unzip it its going to be around 11 gig. for the rest you can just google it , lots of torrents and also read the thread.

Thanks. I found that site last night and registered there as well. Only thing is that everywhere says to Google search where to download the files, and when I search Google I get several different sources to download the programs (not sure which are reliable) and several threads asking questions about where to download the programs.

Still waiting on the cable, if anything goes haywire, what is the DIY procedure to flash back to stock can't seem to find anything.

Use INPA
load inpa/e90/functional jobs/f3 (UIF)

then look at EGS assembly number ZB number. Copy that number and save it. That's your stock Oem assembly line factory software. If u want to go back to original then load that number back when you press choose ZB and use GKE215 and then find your old number within the listed assembly line numbers.

For those with issues w/ paddles, you should be able to expertmode the EGS unit to correct that issue.

The issue is that when a new program or data area is flashed, the coding data is not there in many cases. Same thing with flashing a DME as well for MSD80/81.

Changing it to wert_00 and back before using expertmode shouldn't accomplish anything, since ultimately expertmode will set the correct defaults for what is loaded according to the VO.

Cheers

I was wondering same thing as I was doing it, did not make any sense to need to change something then change back. But it worked regardless. I should look at mine now to see if to was changed back to wert_02 (original setting), I left it at wert_00 end of step 2.
